Weapons

All weapons use a projectile that you can dodge. Projectiles that you can dodge are fairer than hit scan weapons when playing against bots because you can't program the bots to always win.

The projectile fires in the direction the gun is pointing with no crosshair.

Directions

• Use the same version for the client and server.
• You get one point for each kill.
• The goal is to get the high score before the countdown timer runs out.
• When the countdown timer runs out, the game ends and shows the final score on the Game Over screen.
• Bots can't win because they don't respawn so their score is not recorded.
• If you shoot while running you can shoot yourself but you don't get credit for killing yourself.
• Drop weapon deletes the weapon and you can only get new weapons from a weapon pickup.

Notes

• Don't set Max bots in the Options menu too high without first trying out lower values because this can slow down the game making it unresponsive if your computer is not powerful enough. As an example, my laptop with integrated graphics couldn't handle more than 300 Max bots.
• I only tested with two players.
• My 22nd game and 8th multiplayer game. 

Technical

• Unreal Engine Version 4.27

Design

• Pickup of a dropped weapon is difficult to implement using replication so I changed it so a dropped weapon is deleted. I don't know of any multiplayer games that have drop weapon and pickup. Most games have weapon pickups.
